LEPIDOPTERA COLLECTED ON A TRIP ROUND THE WORLD. 135 
My local list of this group, which I hope to publish shortly, 
contains nearly thirty species, the latest capture being that of 
Lepinotus inquilinus, Heyden, which I found recently in the 
house on marigold seeds. 
LEPIDOPTERA COLLECTED ON A TRIP ROUND THE 
WORLD. 
By F. G. Waittie. 
I ueFrt home on Thursday, April 9th, 1914, for a long sight- 
seeing trip. Of course I took with me a butterfly-net and boxes, 
to be used as occasion offered. It was not, however, until Monday, 
May 9th, that, arrived at Colorado Springs from Denver, I set 
about exploring the Pike’s Peak district, Manitou, and the Garden 
of the Gods in quest of Lepidoptera. The first moth noticed was 
a Geometer that appeared to be rather common, Nomenia, nov. 
gen., duodecimlineata var. secunda, Pearsall. I regret that I did 
not secure a long series of this insect, as it appears to be of | 
special interest. Mr. Prout has very kindly identified the species 
for me, and states that the antennal structure and neuration 
separate it from the typical Californian form of Venusia duo- 
decimlineata, Packard. The next moth to occur in some plenty 
was Hthmia discostrigella, Chamb., a few Hucosma pinicolana, Z., 
and a small day-flying Noctua, Litocala sexsignata, Harvey; a 
very variable Arctiid of a form that was not represented in 
the National Collection, Leptarctia california, Walker, Hupithecia 
? species. There is a similar unnamed specimen in the National 
Collection labelled,‘‘ Colorado, Boulder, Cockerell, 1913.—342.” 
I next visited the Cheyenne Cafions and the Seven Falls. 
Euvanessa antiopa (much worn), Polygonia satyrus, Kdw., Thanaos 
propertius, Scudder, a fine Hesperid, but with rather a funereal 
aspect ; a single Lycenid, not in very good order, which is, I 
think, Hveres amyntula, Bar.; Ganoris vernalis, a Theclid, Callo- 
phrys henrict, Grote, Hucosma ? species, and two Noctue at rest 
on tree trunks. One of them is Huzxoa brunneigera, Grote, and 
the other appears to be Anomogyna vernalis, Grote, which is 
represented in the National Collection by one specimen only. 
I left Colorado Springs for San Francisco on May 6th, and 
arrived there on the 8th, having stopped one day at the Mormon 
city en route. After seeing something of the vast preparations 
for the great Panama Exhibition, and viewing the site, paying 
an interesting visit to Chinatown, and inspecting the few remain- 
ing relics of the old. Spanish occupation, I made my way to 
Golden Gate Park, where, quite on the outskirts, near the shore, 
I found Melitea chalcedon, Doubl. Hew., local but common; 
Pyrameis atalanta, Linn., cardut, Linn., and carye, Hubn., a
